SAN ANGELO — A San Angelo woman was arrested Wednesday after being indicted in late October on accusations she left a child in a sexually abusive situation, according to the indictment.

On July 15, the woman left the girl, who was younger than 15 years old, with a man who inappropriately touched the girl on several occasions in his bed, according to the indictment.

A man named in the indictment as the abuser was arrested Oct. 1 on charges he sexually abused a girl on multiple occasions. The Standard-Times is not releasing some details about the case to protect the girl's identity.

The mother knew about the inappropriate behavior, but continued to allow the girl to stay with the man, according to the indictment. She also did not voluntarily take the girl to an emergency care provider after the girl made several outcries.
